Dedication:Gilman Voices, 1897-1997,
is dedicated to
the Gilman boy,
to the Gilman boy in the Gilman man,
and to Walter Lord '35,
a Gilman boy forever.

John Mercer writing -- I have long thought that Hyde Bay was a family and that every strand of its genealogy somehow passed through Gilman School. Reading the articles from Gilman Voices has convinced me of that. In these articles, kindly supplied by Tom Lynn, I met names of people whom my parents had talked about, but whom I had never known. I know them better now.

All of these pieces are from "Gilman Voices, 1897-1997" by Patrick Smithwick, published by Gilman School Bookstore, 1997. I thank him for his permission to reproduce them here.
